Not just the definitive version of Diablo III, but the best action RPG on next gen consoles – even if the competition isn't exactly fierce. Diablo III: Reaper of souls - Ultimate Edition is slick, gorgeous and ferociously addictive, even if the...

In the end, Reaper of Souls is exactly was Diablo III should have been at launch: Fun, fast paced and chock full of loot in a dark and atmospheric setting. Is the game perfect? Absolutely not but it is a huge improvement on the vanilla version of Diablo...

This score is based on the number of Legendary items I found during my first day with the game (The .4 was because one of them wasn't used by my class). You could have had a ten Blizzard, you could have had a ten. That said, Loot 2.0 helps soften the...

Even after giving away big pieces of its best changes for free, Reaper of Souls demonstrates the kind of add-on that makes other expansions seem stingy by comparison, reinvigorating an already great game.

I have to say, I love what Blizzard did with Diablo 3. The game's current state does not even come to comparison with what was launched back in 2012. However, I am afraid I cannot give Reaper of Souls so much praise. Yes, it does follow an expansion...

CommentThere’s no denying that the original version of Diablo III had its fair share of problems. Casting aesthetic concerns aside, the always online approach presented a multitude of problems after launch that frustrated many initial buyers. The...

Reaper of Souls gives it a much more welcoming, flexible and gratifying character, but it's still a game of utter excess, at once deep and mindlessly shallow. Too much of it will leave you feeling dizzy and sick. Turning it from a miserly grind to a jackpot that always pays out doesn't change that - in fact, it only heightens it.

Diablo III has changed so much from where it started back in 2012 that it's hard to separate the latest iteration of the game from its new Reaper of Souls add-on. So let's just make this clear at the outset: the removal of the Auction House and...

After a very extended break from Diablo III, and a feeling of lingering disappointment in the longevity of the title, I have returned to reintroduce demons and angels into my life. Given that I originally reviewed the title, it is only fitting that I...

The story seems like filler and never lives up to its intriguing premise, but the extra hours it adds on are fun thanks to an interesting new setting. It will do little to change your opinion of the core Diablo III experience, but fans will find plenty to enjoy with Reaper of Souls. Its new hero class and impressive Adventure Mode will ensure that your money was well spent.

The Reaper of Souls expansion has heralded much change in the Diablo III landscape and before it even arrived it swung its scythe at the old ways of loot drops, gear stats and even plunged the auction house into oblivion. It was no quiet entrance to...

It's been almost 2 years since Diablo III was released and I must say that the game died slowly but surely mostly because of the auction house that killed the thrill of the looting. But now that's out of the way and here we are, the first expansion for...

There may be more to come. Approaching the doors leading to Malthael, the Templar asks the Crusader, "What happens after Malthael is dead?" The Crusader, ever stoic, replies: "There will always be more evil to face. I expect to die fighting it."

Adventure mode leverages Diablo III's existing content in a clever way, and with its haunting settings and memorable villain, act five is the best chapter in the game's campaign. If you're looking for reasons to keep on clicking, Reaper of Souls has plenty.

For mercenaries everywhere, the loot upgrades are probably enough to justify diving back in to this deeply depressing storyline. If you always thought Diablo was “not for you” then move along, nothing to see here.

The Lord of Terror is back!I am a Diablo fan. I own Diablo on Playstation, playing co-op with friends when I can, and I still frequent Diablo II because of the deep game play and dark story line. These games are as iconic to video games as Mario and...
